Yes, I think in many shows something like this could easily have been seen as 'running out of ideas' or just filler, but here it worked really well.
I do wonder if the 'penguin being blown away' bits were originally out-takes, though!

I shall miss this show when it's gone. I do hope it comes back at some point.

Lovely way to end the series, getting all the characters together for a cherry blossom viewing party, even joukin panda came to visit!
Not to mention the Penko-imoutos arriving to confuse Penguin even more!

Although we never DID find out how Penguin gets on the stool.

This show has been a constant delight for 50 episodes, and should it ever return it'd be most welcome.

"See you again!" is definitely the feeling I want to walk away from this series with - "Sayonara" is simply too painful to think about. It really does feel like a group of friends I've been meeting every Thursday is going away, and the older we get the more we realize just how great a treasure friendships are. We've been treated to something even better than caffe mochas and bamboo grass every Thursday, and if "see you again" is the message these friends are parting with, I can think of no better reply than to quote directly from Shirokuma-san's (and Sakurai Takahiro's) sublime final ED for the series - "Itsumo arigatou."

Spoiler for Finale:

I really held it together pretty well until Full-time showed up, and Panda-kun gave him that bear hug. All told though it was an agreeably low-key finale - the sentiment and emotion was so powerful that it didn't need to be oversold. There was some nice trolling with Penguin-san and how he gets onto a bar stool, and the Sasako-Handa romance tease. Some excellent humor, and a lot of heart. Pretty much what this show always delivers.

I was curious about SC last year because of the voice cast and, well, it's not the strangest gimmick premise that's carried a show. But it was surprisingly a lot better than expectations, and I'm going to miss these guys.

We got handwriting credits for the finale episode
The second half was perfect to conclude this series.
Damn it's hard when this kind of 4-cour series is over... it was really a pleasant and refreshing series with some neat episodes and surprises. I wonder how they managed to produce 50 episodes with only 4 volumes : many episodes with original scenario ? If that's the case they may come back one day

That's a yew.

That's one of the few!
